Area J™ Bridge DP248BK.

Been waiting for a bass pickup that sounds like a vintage J Bass® pickup and cancels hum? Your wait is over. Bass pickups are usually described with aggressive terms such as "amazing punch" and "thundering lows", but that's not the sound of vintage J Bass® pickups. They're all about warmth, sustain, and a clean, singing tone. The Area J™ captures all of those qualities. It is not loud, but it has a very focused attack, so it has power where it counts - at the center of the tone. The lows are very clear and clean, and the highs are both smooth and open-sounding. We've reduced the magnet-pull, and included 4-conductor wiring to allow both series and parallel humbucking modes.


Recommended For Bridge position. The Area J™ Bridge was designed to fit the bridge position of the original Fender Jazz Bass, which has neck and bridge pickup cavities of two different sizes.
